I want to say Thank You to the men and women that serve our communities in the fire service. As we lay in bed asleep these men and women get up out of bed to help others in many different ways. As you can see by this article holidays don't hold them back. Let's all say a prayer for them as we see them responding to a call or anytime just to hold them up.
